Crosby's Bakery was originally on East Hollis Street, and then Temple Street, before the Crosbys built the current shop at East Pearl and Spring streets in the late 1950s.
Today, Jacob Crosby Jr.'s daughter, Gale, and her husband, Mike Cummings, operate the bakery.
"We really like being downtown," Gale Cummings said. "There are many second- and third-generation store owners here with whom I grew up. It's good to see."
Although construction on East Pearl Street and overflow from the Hillsborough County Superior Court have contributed to increased parking problems on their little corner, Cummings said downtown is the place to be.
"You can't beat the camaraderie here," she said. "I know a lot of the customers well. During the week, I can call just about everybody by their first name."
